Uncle Hai, who was sitting on the side, frowned like a river. He looked at Shangguan Qingkong and said unhappily with a hint of blame in his tone:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you thinking of keeping watch for everyone for no reason? You've been spoiled since you were a child. You can't do this kind of thing. Let the guards do it!"
"How do you know I can't do this? I have to keep watch tonight!"
Shangguan Qingkong glared at Uncle Hai unhappily and spoke in a bad tone. After that, he looked around and looked at the guards around him who wanted to persuade him to give up this idea. His tone was very tough:
"I've decided. I'll be on guard tonight. All of you, please stop trying to persuade me! Anyone who tries to persuade me will never be able to return to the Shangguan Family again!"
Seeing Shangguan Qingkong was so determined, it was difficult for others to persuade him anymore. Uncle Hai looked at Shangguan Qingkong deeply, sighed helplessly, and sat aside with his eyes closed to rest.
An Ran walked up to Shangguan Qingkong and said with regret, "Cousin, it's a pity that I can't keep watch with you tonight. You better be careful when you're alone!"
Finally, he had a cousin who spoke sweetly and whom he liked. Shangguan Qingkong's mood suddenly became happy. He looked at An Ran and said gently:
"Cousin, you can rest assured. I'll be on guard tonight. Nothing will happen. I guarantee you'll sleep through the night!"
Shangguan Qingkong was still talking to An Ran, while the captain of the guards, Xiaoyi, stood beside Uncle Hai with a worried look on his face, asking him what to do tonight...
"It's okay. You can still arrange the night watch tonight, but it will be in the tent. As for the Seventh Young Master..."
Uncle Hai said to the guard captain Xiaoyi nonchalantly. At this point, his eyebrows twisted up. He paused for a moment, sighed, and then continued:
"I don't know what's wrong with him. Since the Seventh Young Master wants to keep watch so much, then let him have his fun tonight!"
The captain of the guards nodded slightly in agreement, and then went to arrange other related matters.
This night was unusually quiet, without a single disturbance, as if all the monsters had disappeared overnight and nothing had happened.
Shangguan Qingkong was secretly pleased with himself. Uncle Hai hadn't agreed to let him keep watch, but nothing had happened that night. He was saying, "How could such a simple matter stump the incredibly clever Shangguan Qishao?"
"Cousin, how is it? I promised to let you sleep until dawn. Did I keep my word?" An Ran had just crawled out of her tent when she heard Shangguan Qingkong's voice.
She looked up and found Shangguan Qingkong standing next to his tent, staring at her with a smug look on his face.
"Yes, thank you, cousin!" An Ran said absentmindedly, then crawled out of the tent and went to the stream to wash.
After the group packed up, they set off again. Shangguan Qingkong was very excited. He kept looking for Anran to chat along the way, bragging about his great achievements last night.
Anran looked up at the sky in silence, complaining about Shangguan Qingkong in her heart. She rolled her eyes so much that she didn't know where they went. However, she still pretended to be very serious and listened to Shangguan Qingkong's bragging, giving him some encouragement from time to time.
Behind them, An Yu, Xu Errong and Su Fanjun also came to the place where An Ran and the others rested last night. Looking at the messages left by An Ran and Jun Zichen, they understood their recent movements!
Maybe they had used up all their good luck yesterday. Today, they had not walked far when they encountered batches of magical beasts, and these magical beasts were heading straight for Shangguan Qingkong!
In order to protect Shangguan Qingkong, their group of guards was reduced from eight to three!
Even the remaining five people were injured to varying degrees. The most seriously injured one had an arm bitten off by the ferocious monster, leaving him half dead. The less seriously injured ones were covered in blood, looking like bloody men!
Jun Zichen was very powerful, and he would occasionally lead the monsters to other guards, so he didn't suffer any serious injuries. However, he was also very smart. He would smear some of the monster blood on himself whenever he touched it, and with the occasional screams, he looked as if he had suffered extremely serious injuries!
Because of Shangguan Qingkong, An Ran was well protected by the guards and Jun Zichen. In addition, An Ran was agile in dodging, so she was not seriously injured. However, her body was covered with bloodstains and her face was as pale as a piece of paper!
"Seventh Young Master, how are you now?" Uncle Hai held the sword in one hand and stood against the surrounding monsters, while asking Shangguan Qingkong distractedly.
At this time, An Ran and the other five were surrounded by six seventh-level money leopards and divided into two groups. Uncle Hai and Shangguan were in one group, while An Ran, Jun Zichen and the guard captain Xiaoyi and two other money leopards surrounded the other side.
All five of them had scars of varying sizes on their bodies, and were covered in blood. No one knew whether they were their own or others'. Especially Shangguan Qingkong. As the main target of these monster waves, he was covered in scars all over his body, his face was pale, and he was so weak that he couldn't even stand up!
The leopards surrounding them were also covered with wounds, but the smell of blood further aroused the animal nature in them. They looked at An Ran and his group with fierce eyes and roared angrily!
The surrounding grass and trees had long since turned to ashes because of the life-and-death struggle of this group of people. The tall trees around were also stained with sparks because of the sparks, and soon went out on their own.
"It's okay, I can still hold on! You don't have to worry about me!" Shangguan Qingkong supported his body with the Silver Moon Scimitar in his hand, looked at the monster in front of him, and said childishly.
Uncle Hai took a moment out of his busy schedule to look at Shangguan Qingkong, shook his head in disapproval, and poured all of his remaining fighting spirit into the sword in his hand. He stared at the golden leopards in front of him, ready to fight them to the death at any time!
Suddenly, a leopard roared angrily and pounced towards them, opened its bloody mouth, and spit out a bolt of lightning straight towards Shangguan Qingkong!
At this time, Shangguan Qingkong no longer had the strength to dodge the lightning and could only watch the lightning coming towards her!
He looked at the lightning with a sad face as it was getting closer and closer to him. He felt very angry, unwilling and regretful, but in the end he closed his eyes helplessly and waited quietly for the arrival of death.
